This is the delightful tale of the unexpected relationship that develops between a young girl and a wild fox who are drawn into an uneasy alliance by their mutual longing to find the girl's missing grandmother.
When Bee's Nan disappears from the inn providing hospitality services that is run by her family, Nan is assumed to have drowned. But neither Bee nor Shadow, the fox that Nan has been feeding, are willing to take this news lying down.
Their search for Nan not only brings the two of them closer, it also takes place against the magical, atmospheric backdrop of the Great Lakes.
This is a gorgeous story for animal lovers, as well as those who treasure the experience of a special bond with a special grandparent. Highly recommended.

This is an intriguing and heartwarming story about a friendship and connection between a girl and a fox. The author has a very distinctive writing style that is both easily recognisable and accessible to children. I love all her previous books and this one is no exception. It is a book perfect for sharing in class.

Shadow Fox is a charming and magical story, told from the foxes perspective. You follow Shadow, a wild fox, and Bee, a young girl, on their incredible journey as they try to save nature.
There are various themes running through this book, one being the special bond between a grandparent and their grandchild. The love and connection of Bee and her nan creates a beautiful, caring, and heartwarming relationship.
Another theme that runs through this story is how we are responsible for the nature around us. The need for us to nurture it and protect it from those who want to destroy it.
Shadow Fox is an enchanting tale full of magic, mystery, and most of all, hope. How we should believe in ourselves and stand up for what is right. This story took me back to being that little girl who used to sit on her window sil at night and read, get lost in the magic of great storytelling.
This is a beautiful, charming, and uplifting story that I would not only recommend children to read but for us adults too, who want to be taken back to their childhood, when nothing else mattered but the love of a delightful story.
